EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lion and the Gnat: A Timeless Fable of Arrogance and Persistence This print, titled 'The Lion and the Gnat,' is an enduring reminder of the timeless wisdom found in Aesop's fables. The image, published by Dodsley in 1761, depicts a regal lion, dismissive of a mere gnat, who lands on the lion's nose. The lion, in his grandeur, fails to acknowledge the insignificant insect, swatting it away with a flick of his paw. However, the gnat, undeterred by the lion's size and power, continues to land on the lion's face, causing numerous bites. The moral of this fable, as with many of Aesop's tales, is one of humility and the consequences of arrogance. The lion, in his arrogance, underestimated the persistence and determination of the gnat. This historical print serves as a reminder that even the mightiest of beings can be tormented by the smallest of creatures, and that no one is immune to the consequences of their own pride. Aesop's fables, first recorded in the 6th century BCE, have been passed down through the ages, inspiring generations with their timeless wisdom and moral lessons. This print, published over two centuries ago, is a testament to the enduring power of these stories and their ability to resonate with audiences across cultures and time periods. The Lion and the Gnat is not only a fascinating piece of historical art, but also a reminder of the importance of humility and the potential consequences of arrogance. This print, found on Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for any collection of historical art, mythology, or fables.
